In several cities in this state the
votes of women were received by the
election board and rejected by others.
Mrs. Olympia Brown, of Racine. a
leading woman suffragist. with several
other women offered their votes for
such offices as they believed were con.
nected with school matters, and their
votes were rejected. Mrs. Brown has
brought suit against the inspectors of
the election; this is done to make
test case as to the proper construction
of the law. The true meaning of the
law is an open question, on which law
yerS are not agreed. Every interested
person will be glad to have the matter

There is a secret in building towns
says an exchange, truthfully. Do you
know what it is! If YOU don't you can
work the problem out in the following
manner. Take two town sites; let one
be beautiful location. with all the
natural advantages possible. and the
other none of these. Take 500 old
fogies snd miSers-men who do not
believe in advertising; men who
do not believe in giving capitalists
anything for risking their money in
their town--and put them on the good
site. Then 200 good, live. energetic,
get-up-and.get sort of fellows, who
never let an opportunity pass to ad-
yertise themselves and their town,
and pat them on the poor town site;
then watch these two towns for five
years and you will very readily catch
on to the secret of town building.

Early Days on the Chippewa.
BY A PIONEER.


1t was about this time, a little later
In the summer perhaps, for remem-
Der of haying soon afterwards, that
the combined ruflianism about the
mills, took it into their hot heads to
murder an Indian by hanging him to
the limb of a tree in orthodox style.
The offense was, that the Indian :
head of family had used his knife
upon a Frenchman by the name of
Marshall, who entered his wigwam
full of tirewater and unchaste inten-
tiOns, inhicting wounds, or scratches,
which got we'll entirely too soon, but
not until poor Lo was dead, affording
pretext, however, for letting the rufiian
element about the Falls at this time,
loose.
Mr. Allen, who was Just now in the
zenith of his power on Tie Chippewa.
was absent; or, l think the rash aud
unjust proceeding would have been
stayed; for he was decidedly Interested
in keeping the peace with the Indians;
as owner of the mills and other prop
erty at Chippewa Falls, which would
be in great peril if trouble with the
Indians were to occur; for they were,
as yet, the principal inhabitants in
these parts.
Allen was a cool, logical man who
had good deal of power over whites,
and Indians too. Being connected by
marriage with the latter, he was able
to negotiate compromise and save
the burning of property and the lives
of two OF three of the more prominent
murderers.
Upon his returning home, day or
two after the hanging, lie found a crit
ical state of affairs; an Infatuated mob
of two or three hundred Indians within
two or three miles of the place, bent
on vengeance and all ready for their
raid.
Mr.. Allen knew too we'll the worth
of minutes to delay meeting the In
dams for a moment. Had they got
sight of the place and the perpetrators
or abettors of the brutal outrage, with
blood in their eye, woe indeed--"a
tooth for a tooth" would have been
melted out to this little helpless ham
let.
So. with two or three with him, he
hastened out to meet the wronged In
dams. The Indians demanded the
surrender of three or four of the ring.
leaders to expiate according to their
code. Mr.. Alien however by his mas
terly persuasions mellowed their saw
age yearning for blood, and it ended
up in a compromise that did no justice
but saved the lives of the three dirty
rogues.
Allen granted the surrender of the
cuprits to the civil tribunals Of Craw-
ford county, and they were brought
forth, each from his hiding place, tied
shamily with ropes, and under guard
of three or four Indians and as many
whites, carried down the Chippewa in
a barge to Lake Pepin and thence on a
steamboat to Prairie du Chen, for
trial.
The sheriff took charge of the pris-
oners and the Indians seemed to have
confidence that the matter was to be
dealt with vigorously, and in good
faith, according to the stipulation but
the confding Indian knew not the
depth of our refined perfidy. The guard
was scarcely upon Chippewa waters
ahead of the prisoners.

Geld to business men seeking good

result within the reach of Pierce
